GIOVANI RIVERA ALFARO Case Number: | | CGC25621813 | Case Title: | | WELLS FARGO BANK, NA VS. GIOVANI RIVERA ALFARO | Court Date: | | 2025-12-19 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Pursuant To Ccp 437c | Rulings: | | On the Law and Motion/Discovery calendar for December 19, 2025, line 8. PLAINTIFF WELLS FARGO BANK, NA'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Pursuant To CCP 437c.

The motion for summary judgment is denied pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure, section 437c, subdivision (h), which permits the court to deny summary judgment where the opposing party provides evidence "that facts essential to justify opposition may exist but cannot, for reasons stated, be presented." The court construes defendant's motion for continuance as an opposition to summary judgment based on 437c, subdivision (h), and concludes that the opportunity to depose custodians to ensure that Wells Fargo's moving papers present evidence that the court may accept under applicable hearsay rules makes a satisfactory showing under that rule.
